Bacteria permeate virtually every corner of the Earth. Most bacteria live in a biofilm state to enhance their survival and propagation, and to perform essential tasks for many ecosystems.

Researchers have looked into the behavior of Listeria monocytogenes related to biofilms and how they support the persistence of the pathogen in food processing environments. A study led by the ...

Bacterial communities build biofilms to protect themselves from external threats, such as antibiotics. But researchers are now taking aim at these bacterial shields. “Biofilms can be good ...

Bacteria from meat can attach, grow, and build up to create a biofilm that is difficult to remove, even on stainless steel surfaces used in industrial facilities. It can also aggregate ...
